It's tough asking for help, things have been rough lately and I have been working through it, trying to get by. I know many things are tough everywhere and I truly appreciate any support given; positive thoughts, sharing and awareness, or financial. spot.fund/c41sg2fst

Thank you to those who have been helping, while I have temporary space for my dog and I, it's very expensive and I'm still looking for somewhere else and dealing with paying movers. I appreciate all the prior support and future support as well. Thank you.

Hello folks, I've been pretty quiet on all social media and dealing with some dark times. I hate asking for help, but I'm low on options. If you can support in any way, by contributing, or sharing or just sending well wishes I appreciate it a lot. spot.fund/c41sg2fsc
